Seconds Saved: PGI Boosts Cardiac Emergency Response

Effective March 1, the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh will inaugurate its dedicated cardiac emergency facility. This crucial development aims to enhance the timeliness and effectiveness of care for patients experiencing acute cardiac events.
